Application filed October 20, 1920.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST Twice, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Britain, county of Hartford, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and use ful improvements in Wringerfiupports, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a wringer support in a washing machine and has for its ob ject to provide a securely anchored support which will withstand the strains due to a wringer when mounted thereon.

The following is a description of an embodiment of my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a section of an embodiment of my invention on the line 1-1, Fig. 3;

Fig. 2 shows a section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 shows a side elevation; and,

Fig. 4 shows a plan view.

Figs. 5 and 6 are perspective details.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 is n upright of the frame of a washing machine having angle-bars 2 2 forming part thereof. 3 is a base block secured to these angle-irons by screws 4- so as to be supported thereby. 5 is a tubular support for a wringer 6, about which the wringer is adapted to swing in the well known manner. This tubular support is secured in the base block by set-screws 7. The strain of the wringer upon this tubular support is very consider- Specification of Letters lateut.

able and in order to anchor it securely so that it will not yield or injure the framework of the machine, I provide on its lower end an extension 8 of considerable length and surround its lower end by a plate 9 forming a socket secured to a right-angled brace 10, one portion of which, 10, is socurely riveted to the uprights 1 of the frame.

With this construction, on account of the securing of the lower end 8 of the extended tubular support 5, the upper portion of which is supported and rigidly held by the base plate 8, a strong and durable support for the wringer is attained.

lhe tubular support is adapted to surround the usual vertical shaft for transmitting power to the wringer.

As will be evident to those skilled in the art, my invention permits of various modifications without departing from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is:

In a machine comprising a swinging power-driven wringer, the combination of a frame, a base block secured to the upper portion of said frame for supporting the wringer, a tubular member carried by said base block and extending upwardly and downwardly therefrom, a socket secured to said frame below said base block and surrounding the lower end of said tubular memher, the upper end of said tubular member being adapted to receive and act as a bearing for said swinging power-driven wringer.
